@gavinandresen Thankfully Twitter outages were usually only a few hours at a time; had they been days/weeks, may have fared worse.

@prestonjbyrne It does appear to be a “fork or die” situation.
@ryanxcharles INB4 “it wasn’t a hard fork because the chain itself didn’t fork.”
To combat recent denial of service attacks, Ethereum will be forking twice for good measure. https://t.co/W2WxAtpvAu
Bitcoin’s UX isn’t great, but if we make BTC very user friendly before solving technical scaling issues, may become a victim of its success.
@bamos01 @GeminiDotCom Different types of DoS => different effects. I don’t recall BTC exchanges turning off processing, just seeing delays.
@nvk It’s hard to explain and understand, hence why I think “governance” belongs in lots of quotation marks :-)

@nvk If you mean that a node can hard fork away from an unwanted soft fork, yes - but action is required on their part to do so.
@nvk *For hard forks. Miners do have the final say with soft forks.
@triptananda @FergusLemon @igorla12 Low gas limit => inability to deploy new contracts. Will be fixed before long. https://t.co/wPeflcXGMv
Sounds like Ethereum will be hobbled until the next hard fork. https://t.co/aNJHrFrIbl
